Lesson 18 : Feed Mechanism

Introduction

Good appearance in garment stitches, seam performance, correct and even stitch length along the fabric joints are the parameters of a good quality garment. This requires a feed mechanism which feeds the work through the machine to enable a series of stitches to be formed in a manner which gives the garment the look and performance.

The main parts of the sewing machine which form the feed mechanism are:

  1. The presser foot
  2. The throat plate or needle plate
  3. The feed dog
  4. The simplest sewing machine feed system is known as the drop feed.
